Epitope - A part of a foreign organism (or its proteins) that is being recognized by the immune system and targeted by antibodies, cytotoxic T cells or both.
Effective September 30, 2000 Epitope and STC Technologies "joined forces" to become OraSure Technologies, Inc. According to the company, "Combining Epitope and STC will leverage our expertise in oral fluid technology, infectious disease testing, and substance abuse testing. Together, we intend to bring diagnostic solutions for the new millennium." Pictured to the right is the 8505 S.W. Creekside Place [Beaverton, Oregon 97008] facility. For a time, when the company was expanding, Epitope also occupied a good portion of 8205 S.W. Creekside Place. This site is intended to memorialize a company that was a huge part of many people's lives. It is dedicated to the historic (or nostalgic) Epitope and not OraSure Technologies.
